3.4. Estimation of the Sedimentation Rate and Transition Duration
To estimate the sedimentation rate of the studied part
(~35 cm) in Section No. 1, we compared the thickness of
the transition section in our study (cm) (5.7 cm section from 7.1 cm to
12.8 cm depth) with the duration of the transition in published studies
(kyr) from European cave sediments (Pares et al., 2013; Muttoni et al.,
2017; Bella et al., 2019; Zupan Hajna et al., 2021; Gibert et al.,
2016). Then, the sedimentation rate ranges between 0.5 and 1.1 cm/kyr.
Thus, the average sedimentation rate is 0.7±0.2 cm/kyr. The transition
duration calculated from the sedimentation rate estimates ranges between
5.2 and 11.4 kyr. The average sedimentation rate shows an 8.1±0.2 kyr
transition duration. Comparisons between the sedimentation rate and
transition duration estimates and published studies are shown in Table
